Ancient Rome in 3D - NOW and THEN views - Video footage

[@lysan1445]

I am one of those people who stare at ruins for hours, trying to imagine what they once looked like. I love this channel. Kudos to the diligent work you put in!

[@historyin3d]

Thank you so much!

[@ovingtonful]

Absolutely spectacular work guys thanks so much - mind blowing

[@Caltops78]

My first visit in Rome right now. After visiting a lot of these sites I like to watch these videos in my hotel while I’m winding down at night. Its beautiful and overwhelming to take in all the beauty and history here

[@mariagegotek8646]

Guys, I just returned from Rome yesterday and this footage explained me lots of things, besides I was able to relive this wonderful experiences. Thank you ❤😊

[@historyin3d]

Thanks! Happy to receive such comments!

[@historyin3d]

Definitely!

[@oluffriesthomsen7680]

A really good video 👍❤️

[@hugodesrosiers-plaisance3156]

I always found Assassin's Creed Brotherhood to be frustratingly tantalizing. Ubisoft's renaissance Rome was gorgeous, but it's the era you guys are working on that most players really wanted! Beautiful work!

[@historyin3d]

Thank you! I would also really like to see the AG from the era of ancient Rome, but in any case it will be a game, they have other priorities. And that's okay.

[@carlasignorini3887]

Born in Rome I did not realise how the ancient palaces looked like..thanks for this beautiful reconstruction

[@stischer47]

I believe I would like to go back as a tourist just to walk these places when they are at the height of their beauty. Looking forward to VR.

Thank you! The apps are inprogress as well!

[@Diatom1k]

INCREDIBLE WORK! 👏👏 Noone has ever come close to this level of scale and detail, and we can enjoy it for free. Thank you for all the time you have put into this. Surely we will be able to wander these streets in the not so distant future.

[@historyin3d]

Thank you, nice to hear! There are 2 more projects dedicated to ancient Rome of a good quality - Rome Reborn and Faber Courtial. Each of ours reconstructions has their own features and distinctions, and that is great!

What a beautiful reconstruction. Brought back to life. Hard to believe that the romans could have built these great monuments and buildings without the knowledge and materials we have today.

I just visited Rome, and after 3 days of just imaginee things, this video is pure gold

[@motoguzzigriso]

It’s a shame that so much of Ancient Rome was pillaged for building material for medieval construction. They didn’t appreciate what they had!

[@Diatom1k]

Thank the Vatican

[@CaptainGrimes1]

To be fair they didn't destroy the buildings when they looked like this, the baths for example stopped working in the 6th century when the aqueducts were destroyed and then they were abandoned and overgrown, earthquakes toppled columns and walls and from that was scavenged material to build churches and housing. Don't forget the people of medieval Rome were living in one vast ruin of a city built for a population of a million not the ten thousand or so by that point, they just needed to survive so saving non working, crumbling ruins that had once been a bathhouse would have made no sense.

[@ПавелСоколов-ъ6в]

А когда человечество делало по другому?

[@annasangiorgio3661]

Quando Roma cadde, i popoli barbari e avversari contribuirono alla sua distruzione, saccheggiando ed esportando materiale edilizio riutilizzato per le successive costruzioni medievali. Anche la Chiesa, che all'epoca iniziava ad avere potere, si appropriò non solo di parti di edifici come marmi, ma accumulò oro e altre cose di valore per fondare il proprio impero cristiano. Il Sacro romano impero divenne potente portandosi dietro la scia della cultura classica romana e con la conversione di molti popoli al cristianesimo.

[@spw947]

I feel the same way about the pyramids of Egypt. They must’ve been beautiful with that white terra-cotta on them.

[@giuseppecalegari3852]

Roma è stata saccheggiata almeno 7 volte da varie popolazioni straniere, e così tante altre città italiane. Tante cose sono state distrutte da eserciti invasori, soprattutto Lanzichenecchi, e tante opere artistiche sono state rubate. Gli ultimi "saccheggiatori" sono stati i tedeschi durante l'occupazione dopo il 1943 e prima di loro i francesi di Napoleone.

What software did you use to create the models?

[@historyin3d]

Thank you for your donation, but as I said many times already, I never reply to such questions. Any programmer uses a number of software programs, which he combines in a unique way based on his own experience. Almost all basic 3d programs are equivalent, there is not a single one which can make 'magic' on its own.

[@Podzzy]

@@historyin3d Ok, thanks for the reply. I can agree with the last statement even if I still don't fully understand the reason for not wanting to say the software used.

[@arslongavitabrevis5136]

Magnificent work! Congratulations. I would like to add that most of the destruction of the great Imperial buildings was carried out by the fanatical Christians and later on, in a more methodical manner, by the Catholic Church, determined to erase any vestiges of the old Roman civilization. For a well-documented description of that process I recommend Catherine Nixey´s book "THE DARKENING AGE"

[@historyin3d]

I would recommend reading the Nixey´s book only in the context of other studies. This book is VERY biased and contains a number of very arbitrary generalizations. For a REALLY well-documented description of that process it is necessary to begin with the fundamental works of Lanciani and Gregorovius, and then follow the path of main studies of Roman topography till our time. Thank you for your kind words about our project!
